Chris Newman's Christmas Songs Page 1

Away in a Wrestling Manger

It's Now or Wrestling Songbook Never

(chorus)

Its Now Or Never - Go For It Tonight
Come Hack & John Shelvey
A Christmas Song To Write
After Xmas - May Be Too Late
Its Now Or Never – We Just Cant Wait.

​

(verse)

WH First Joined – And I Got To Know Yuh
It Lifted My Spirits - That Wrestling Nostalgia
We Could Spend A Lifetime
All That Reading & Write Time
For Who Knows When - Wrestling Comes Back Again - This Way?

​

(chorus)

​

Let Hack & John - Give Us A Tune
Before Crimbo’s Over
An End That Comes Real Soon
Get With It .... Add To Our Book
Or Hide Behind The Tree - Where You’re Off The Hook

​

(verse)

​

It Doesn’t Matter - If You Dont Want Your - Say
I Still Have High Hopes - You’ll Write A Song One Day
With Melody And Musical Scores - You’ll Be Breaking Down New Doors
You’ll Wonder Why - You Never Did it - Be-fore

​

(Final Chorus)

Now And Together - This Christmas Rhyme
The Real Ale’s Flowing - As The Bells Do Chime
Its Either A Quiet Time - Or Packing Dance Floors

“ A HAPPY CHRISTMAS !”

THE BEST TO YOU ...... AND YOURS !!

Mary's Wrestling Boy Child/Oh My Lord

Oh Come All Ye Faithful

Oh Come All Ye Faithful

Come Ye To The Wrestling

At Croydon Or St James’s

Or Down The Albert Hall

Come & Behold Them

Born The Kings Of Grappling

(Chorus)

Oh Come Let Us Adore Them

Come Let Us Adore Them

Oh Come Let Us Adore Them ....

Topham’s A Lord

​

(Verse 2)

Angels The Whitest

Alfie Hayes & L’Ange Blanc

Adored Undefeated

’Til ‘Death’ En-ters The Room

Black Hood & Nerve Hold

Doctor Death Created

(Chorus)

Oh Come Let Us Abhor Him

Come Let Us Abhor Him

Oh Come Let Us Abhor Him

Lincoln’s Dark Lord

​

(Verse 3)

Cortez’s & Royals

Speed Of Light In Tag Team

So Were The Liverpool Lads

And Those Super-Flys

Barons & Jet-Set

Dont Forget Pallo & Colbeck

(Chorus)

Those Tag Teamers

Full Of High Hopes

As Partners Grabbed Those Tag Ropes

How Did Those Refs Ev-er C-o-p-e

Except - Max Ward

​

(Verse 4)

Then There Were Light Weights

Dont Dismiss As Slight Weights

Scientific & Clever – In The Wrestling Ring

Johnny Saint & Steve Grey, Jimmy Breaks & Boskic

(Chorus)

Oh Come Let Us Adore Them

And Cheer Them On To Glory Then

George Kidd Is Gonna Win Again

For He’s The Lightweight Lord 

​

(Verse 5)

A Hard Nut From New Cross

Name Of Mick McManus

Happened There Upon Us

On Telly One Fine Day

One Thing Though He Did Fear

If Someone Touched His ‘Caulie’ Ear

(Chorus)

The Blood There Was Congealing

Never Fully Healing

One Tweak Sent Him Appealing

“No Not The Ears”

​

(Verse 6)

The Samurai - Nagasaki

Punters Flocked To See Him

Peering Through His Kendo Mask

Bearing A Sword

Sinister Yet Brilliant - A Wrestling Devil Created

(Chorus)

The Fans Still Go To Meet

Seeing Naggers At His Retreat

For Lofty & Paul - It Couldn’t Be Beat

 ... Kendo’s A Lord

​

(Verse 7a)

A Bright Star Then Shone Out

Across The Eastern Night Sky

3 Wise Fans They Followed It

Although They Knew Not Why

And When - They Got There

2 Wrestlers Were In A Stable

(Chorus)

Cornelius & The Zebra Kid

Smashing & Crashing - Round A Crib

A New Born Child Was Staying Hid

As Wrestling Took The Floor

​

(Verse 7b)

Messiah - Was Fated

Through Wrestling Unabated

Submission Extra-cated

As Joe Took The Sting -

A Move That Otherwise Might Have Come 

Was Dubious Use Of Dazzler’s Thumb

(Chorus)

That Night There Was No Sign

Joes Thumb - Zebra's Behind

No Further I Will - Go

Not On This Family Show

​

(Verse 8)

They’ll Not Come Back Ye Faithful

Though Wrestling Was Our Loyal Friend

We Clapped And Booed And Cheered Again

As We Watched Them All

Wrestling Titles – Prized

In Front of Our Very E-y-e-s

(Chorus)

We Went And We Adored Them

Never Ever Bored With Them

We’d Follow Them Until The End

When Wrestling Was Lord

​

(Last Verse - With Gusto):-

Sing Choirs Of Punters

Sing In Exultation

Sing All Ye Heritagers

Oh  H-e-a-v-e-n-s  Above !

Sing The WH Songbook

Some Of Us Have Created

(Chorus)

Come Sing With Us - You Know You Should

Enjoy Your Beer And Christmas Pud

Maybe Some Wine Straight From The Wood ....

Christmas Is Lord !
